Continuation of the Rhône cycle route south of Montélimar.

The suspension bridge over the La Payre River near Le Pouzin in the Ardèche is a functional structure that primarily serves as a pedestrian bridge. It connects the southern bank of the La Payre with the western part of the village and is a useful crossing for hikers and cyclists. The bridge is part of the "Voie douce de la Payre," a former railway line now used as a cycling and hiking path.

The "Voie Douce de la Payre" railway cycle path connects Le Pouzin to Privas in the Ardèche and follows the route of the former Pouzin–Privas railway line. Opened in 1861, this line was the first railway connection in the Ardèche department. Initially used to transport iron ore, it later also carried passengers and freight before being closed in 1994. Today, the approximately 20 km long cycle path is fully paved and runs almost level along the Payre River, a tributary of the Rhône. The path leads through tunnels and over viaducts, offering impressive views of the surrounding gorges and villages such as Chomérac and Alissas. Its easy accessibility makes it ideal for family outings and connects the ViaRhôna with the Dolce Via, two other popular cycle paths in the region.

La Voulte-sur-Rhône captivates visitors with its historic suspension bridge, which drapes over the Rhône River and offers breathtaking views. This charming town boasts winding alleys and historic medieval houses. A visit here perfectly combines nature, history, and French village life.

Great route. We went from Saint-Agrève to Valence. A magnificent descent along the gorges. I recommend it 200%.

Unfortunately, there is no benefit for the railway cycle path, and it would be nicer if cyclists had priority at these small crossings

Unfortunately, this is the only short tunnel on this railway cycle path, so there is no lighting, but it still has a cooling effect
